LAHGNT5NUI937gWWg DllQlNCll3AL'S MESSA E TG THE CITIZENS or Tomoooow This great government, of which you are a part, is a priceless heritage. Wrought piecemeal out of human bondage, forged and fashioned by the suffering and the sacrifices of your forefathers, it emerged a splendid edifice. It is your government. What are you going to do with it? No government can long endure if shorn of the respect and confidence of its people. Out of the gummage and twaddle of current comment a shadow falls. It may be nothing, but the loom of it is disquieting. It is the spectre of disrespect. It rears its ugly head in the councils of our laborers when sit down strikes are called and the proper- ty of other people is seized and illegally re- tained. Now the right of private property is one of the cornerstones in our government. No matter how just the cause of labor, it is never justified, under our system of gov- ernment, in seizing and holding other peo- ple's property. It is not necessary to .resort to illegal practices. There are other remedies. Again we pass within the shadow. This time it is the loss of respect for our courts. If the courts be intimidated, either by the threat of numbers, or the boos of the rabble, what shall become of us? Think of it! Strikers seize a factoryg the owners appeal to the courts to restore their property, the court orders the strikers out, and the strik- ers laugh at the court. I am filled with mis- givings. That the orders of a court should be made a mockery is unthinkable. You are the citizens of tomorrow. If you love your America you will pledge un- failing allegiance to the great institutions upon which America is built. You will de- mand respect for law and order, for the courts, for the right of private property, and lastly for the duly constituted authorities in government Wherever they may be. That is your plain duty. I know you will not fail. GEORGE E. MCCRACKEN, Principal. l13l
